Texrat, I understand irony well. You don't understand that simply you have a different notion of what "feeding a troll" is to what I have. IMO, "bumping" the thread it started isn't feeding it, as I am not replying to it, but rather giving helpful advice to others on how to make it stop and make this, its last thread.

I don't understand why you think I would argue with you. Maybe because of your subtle attemt to insult me? I have been around way to long to byte that.

I wasn't attempting to insult you at all. I was just perplexed by your replies. Still am. Especially since you don't get why thread bumping is certainly a means of feeding a troll (or, in this case, attention-seeker). And yes, I'm well aware of the irony in my own bumps... but I have another agenda going. Just waiting for mullf to identify it.

Your lack of job has lead you to go insane and develop an orange personality?

Not paying close enough attention to the details of your life, apparently.

Texrat, for the last time, I understand what you mean. I just don't agree with it and I explained why. It is not my fault you don't understand, don't acknowledge, or don't agree with my explanation.

oh and if it was going to be banned, it would have been already.

I can tell by your replies, though, that something isn't clicking. But maybe that is MY fault and again, I'm not gonna argue.

However, I'd love to see at least one example of where there really was a simple, effective solution to trolling or spamming, especially ignoring being that simple solution. I just have not once seen it actually work. I have, however, seen persistent thread deletion and banning ultimately succeed-- despite the usual resilience of offenders. Sooner or later the work/reward ratio doesn't cut it and they find another haunt.

I've seen thread refactoring work, too... until someone naively resurrects the original "point"...
